Astroman posted:Yeah, I thought these were the long lost Klingon Sarcophagas Ships, which were separated from the rest of the Empire for centuries, thus the different look. But it looks like only the one ship was, and the rest are just warping in from present day Empire, and of course they don't look like goddamn D-7s. we haven't spoken to or seen the rest of the klingons for two hundred years, but if I push this button ten klingon ships will instantly appear

pospysyl posted:"A Star Trek series from the point of view of a typical Trek villain" does have promise. I have no idea whether that actually is the premise of the show, though, or whether it's, as Lorshmee says, "this ain't your Daddy's Star Trek!" I don't have a lot of optimism about how the show will handle my all time favorite Trek character Mudd, but I am curious as an atrocity tourist. give elim garak a defiant class ship and away we go

That was a pretty good episode, and I'm excited to see where the show goes. I'm glad they didn't show Discovery at the end as it keeps their options open to properly plan out the next season. I still think they should have made a real reason no one can use a spore drive again, as "No one can talk about this!" doesn't do anything besides stopping mid 23rd century Starfleet. They had the building blocks with May - just have Discovery provide May with a way to reverse the polarity of the mycelial network to blow up any ship that attempts to jump from here forward. Hell if you really wanted to go hog wild you could have traded that to May and her green fungus lights in exchange for them showing up in our universe and attacking the Control ships in the final battle. The space battle scenes were cool and I liked the time warp effects reminiscent of The Motion Picture. The personal combat scenes were excessive though and they seem really stupid given that Control's nanites could have just reached out and "assimilated" Georgiou about a dozen times like they tried to do to Burnham a few episodes before. I get that you have Michelle Yeoh and wanna show off some moves but I feel it works better as a seasoning than as a course. I hope Pike gets his own show in the same vein as TOS or TNG - a show about "normal" life under the federation based on exploration and helping people, led by a captain who wants to do as much good as he can with the time he has left. I also half expected Spock to tell Mr. Starfleet to downgrade all ships to analog versions to avoid Control in the future, with the final scene showing the bridge with a bunch of switches, dials, and magnetic tape reels and poo poo.

Seemlar posted:The Spore Drive only functions because of one person, and the way he made it work is both illegal under Federation law and not reproducible anyway due to a lack of creatures from another dimension that the solution was made from not being readily available. It's useless even if they didn't classify it. They created two spore drive ships and one of them found the tardigrade very quickly. I understand that the federation can keep starfleet from using this technology, but I don’t see the borg or the dominion having the same moral opposition, or hell even the cardassians, romulans, breen, or the dozens of unnamed civilizations in the rest of the galaxy. They had the May storyline - they could have technobabbled in something that stopped any ship besides discovery or any ship that wasn’t navigated by Stamets from using the fungus highway.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Same but also eugenics and cloak and probably other poo poo I'm forgetting. The Federation sure is giving up a lot of useful tech that would revolutionize them! Yeah and the Federation’s ban on those technologies has kept the romulans and Klingons from using cloaking technology, and has kept the dominion from genetically engineering whole species.

Did we ever see Georgiou when the time warping effects were happening? I wouldn’t put it past them to say she used section 31 magic to get off the ship before discovery left.

They should go with a cyclical view of time and give us a galaxy that's in a dark age. The Iconians were apparently top poo poo and then they fell and the galaxy turned into the garbage we saw in Enterprise. Drop Discovery 950 years into the future and make it the most powerful ship in the area. Or show a galaxy conquered by the Kelvan empire.

Or the simplest solution - you put a manual release on both sides of the door. Actually no one even looked to see if there was one on the other side.
